The dishes worth traveling around the world for

View on web 

If you’re anything like the editors and reporters here at Eater, when it comes time to plan a trip, you build your travel itinerary around a place’s iconic dishes — for some foods are so associated with a specific place, there’s no way you can leave without trying them. 

Enter Eater’s list of Destination Dishes, featuring maps that show you where to find the gooiest cheese pull from a square of pizza alla pala in Rome; the satisfying slurp of perfectly chewy noodles from shoyu ramen in Tokyo; the shot of adrenaline exploding from a tangy, spicy golgappa in New Delhi; or the sweet zing of a taco al pastor in Mexico City. 

These are the dishes worth planning your whole summer vacation around.
